Subject:RE: BLDG permit for 818 S Commerce
Good afternoon,
The property at 818 S Commerce Street is within the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District. The goal of the
local ordinance historic district is to protect and preserve the unique and valued qualities of such an area, its urban
design, architectural character, and historic materials in buildings and in landscapes. A property owner in this district is
subject to the rules and regulations as set forth by the City of Little Rock ordinances, Municipal Code Chapter 23, Sec.
76-160, that is based on Arkansas State law. Any exterior renovation of structures, additions, fencing, or other site
features need to be either administratively approved by staff or reviewed and approved by the Little Rock Historic
District Commission at their regularly monthly public meetings.
Considering the scope of the exterior work for your project—the wood repair and window repair—these items can likely
be reviewed administratively. Please provide the following information and submit a completed Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA) application to staff. You will only need to complete page 4. You may submit this completed
document via email or mail/deliver to the Planning & Development Department at 723 W. Markham. Once all necessary
information for review is submitted, staff review typically is complete within one business day. The COA application can
be access here:

Good afternoon,
That is correct. The only exterior work will be painting and repair of damaged wood and broken glass.

Good afternoon,
I received the application for the repairs/rehab on your property at 818 S Commerce LR AR. This home
is in the McArthur Park Historic District which will limit any exterior changes without the prior approval
of our Urban Designer, @Ratzlaff, Hannah K., who is copied here.
The description provided on the application mentions only interior changes, but I wanted to confirm the
scope of work will be limited to only interior changes and there will be no exterior changes.
Please reply to this email to confirm the scope of work.
Thank you,
